CIVIL UNREST IN AL'BADARADar al Salam, Sumilkando - In the recent months, the citizens of Al'Badara have seemingly split their support amongst the two major parties in the Majilis al Shuru. The political representation of His Majesty, Caliph Yaqub I, has been fighting against the moderate islamists in the Hizb al-Wataniyya al-Mujadidiyya. While the HWM has control of over 50% of the Majilis al Shuru, accusations of election fraud have been floating around. Junood Allah released a statement in January harshly criticizing the HWM for their liberal reforms and single-party cabinet.Earlier this week His Majesty spoke to a large crowd of his rather unruly supporters in Dar al Salam. With the denial of early elections by the HWM, His Majesty flew into a fiery rage, clearly presented in his speech. He demanded the immediate reversal of their decision, threatening military intervention by armies from other parts of the Terran Caliphate, if they refused to comply. This threat sparked riots in major cities supporting the HWM, particularly in Dar al Badara, where militants supporting the HWM clashed with religious leaders based in the city. Countless arrests were made, and the total death toll has yet to be released by officials. However, estimates are disturbingly high.

HIS MAJESTY, CALIPH YAQUB I, TO TOUR ALLIED NATIONS - 04/01/39Dar al Salam, Sumilkando - In a time of growing revolt, His Majesty has made a surprising decision to tour the nations allied with Al'Badara. Few details have been released concerning the agenda and purpose of this trip. While many of the HWM's top officials have openly criticized His Majesty, daring to call him a pathetic weakling. However, a large portion of the population, particularly among the radical Islamists that comprise a fair amount of citizens, unquestioningly support His Majesty's decision. Imam Rabi Boutros, of the main Dar al Badara mosque, is one of these followers. He has been a key component of Junood Allah's paramilitary's effort to retake the streets of Dar al Badara from the HWM supporters that had overthrown the strict, but righteous, local government.Imam Rabi Boutros

HIS MAJESTY'S FIRST STOP AT MOUNT DABAR - 04/05/39Mount. Dabar Military Base, Kafuristan - It was revealed today that His Majesty, Caliph Yaqub I, had landed in Mount Dabar earlier this week. This is the first leg of his international tour. Kafuristan, being a part of the Terran Caliphate, had been preparing for his arrival for some time now, and His Majesty had quite the place to give his speech. Literally carved out of Mount Dabar, there was a massive platform, overlooking a great length of the Kafuri desert on all sides. A large area below him, similarly made, was packed with loyal Kafuris hoping to catch a glimpse of their sovereign and listen to his righteous words.

"People of the Kafuristan. People of the Holy Terran Caliphate. People of ALLAH! On this day, one of the Holiest Sites of all Islam has been desecrated. Protesters in Dar al Badara have all but destroyed the Mosque of Dar al Badara. They have attacked my loyal follower, Imam Rabi Boutros, nearly killing him as he valiantly defended the holy site. Until now, I have not severely punished these infidel dogs who were trying to shake the foundations of the Caliphate. But as I bent in prayer, Allah came to me and revealed what course we must take. The destruction of the mosque has simply reinforced His guiding will. As sovereign of Kafuristan, I 'request' the Majilis al Shuru to mobilize the Kafuri forces under Emir Mahmoud Al-Khalil and commence the most Holiest of Wars against the scum who opposes our righteous quest to bring Allah's will to every corner of Terra! We have tried to reason with the heathens, but they have not listened to us, they have not seen the light! Now they shall see our way as the true and honorable way... Or die."Thousands of Kafuris bend in a prayer in unison with His Majesty, Caliph Yaqub I(Not Seen in This Picture)

After a year of debate on the Brigade's purpose, the Lucien Kannaly Brigade has arrived from Aloria with one mission- the restoration of democracy and overthrow of the Caliph. The Brigade's stated ideology is third way leftist economics, secular morals influenced by Sufism, and civil libertarianism.

Muhammed al-Rahman, political leader of the LKB, gave this speech to the Majilis al Shura upon arrival:

"Too long has Al'Badara, the place of my birth, been under control of repressive monarchy. My family fled here when the New World Order imposed a fascist regime. My relatives fought it with all their power, and established a republic. But that has been undone by the fundamentalist reactionaries who misinterpret the words of the prophet Muhammed to serve their selves. We have come from Aloria, one year after the founding of the Brigade, to restore liberty and justice to a nation which has been so long without it."

Dar al Salam, Al'Badara - Earlier this month Caliph Yaqub I died of old age, leaving his daughter Emira Malika Al-Majali to ascend the throne. While attending the funeral of their father and grandfather, respectively, the Emira and her son were shot dead. The circumstances around the shooting are unclear, but it appears as if one of the Emira's personal bodyguards was the shooter. The news of not only the death of the Caliph, but his next two heirs, sent Al'Badara into a storm of anarchy. The disbandment of the Junood Allah followed soon after. Without the driving force of the direct royal family, the political party fell apart. The future of Al'Badara and the Caliphate is unclear, but it is certain not to be a stable one.

OOC: A crappy ending to a promising scenario. My fellow Islamic parties can attempt to continue the Caliphate, but I simply don't have the time to use the full potential of the Caliphate. I'll still be playing somewhere, but I won't be doing anything of importance.

Set against the old Gharki Nationalist government and a tiny left, a radical Fascist Party and the traditionalist Kébé Front are running on a programme of anti-communism, anti-Zionism and expansion southwards. The Al-Wataniyya Faashsm Harakat (National Fascism Movement) is popular with students, ex-soldiers and the increasingly radicalised sections of the lower middle classes, is a crowd gatherer and certainly a dynamic addiction to Badaran politics whereas is running partner is based strongly in the religious community, big business and the traditional ruling elite of the nation. Many hope that the radical days of the Al-Wataniyya Faashsm Harakat are over now Thabit has more responsible partners, though the violence at it's meetings continue as bloodily as ever. Thabit blames Communists and left-wings for the violence, though the left is extremely small and anti-Communism is ripe in the wake of the Communist Revolutions throughout the Majatran continent. Both parties of the Fascist-Islamic Alliance have strong links abroad with the Nazi Party in Beiteynu and other Fascist organisations. Their is fear that their victory will be the spark which starts the continental war between Fascism and Communism which seems inevitable. Also, this is the last day of the free press.

The UBE government have announced in an official statement that the UBE officialy recognizes the Beiteynuese Republic as an sovereign and independent nation. By doing so the UBE government disregards threaths made by the Luthori Empire. A spokesperson of the foreign minister stated that these were empty threats and that if the threats were acted out, the UBE military would retaliate with its full strength. Sources close to the government have said that the military readyness indicator might be raised due to these Luthori threats.

We will be back with more on this issue after this break."
